Portobello Village Tourist Park
2.5/5
OK campground but the kitchen is way too small - it was very crowded when we were there.
Facilities (showers and kitchen) could use a bit more cleaning.

North Island ▷ Waikato ▷ Raglan ▷
Raglan Kopua Holiday Park
3.5/5
Very big campground next to the beach and super close to Raglan center (only a walking bridge to cross).
OK facilities - one kitchen is way nicer than the other.
We stayed there for 8 nights during the busy season. Although the campground was full, they closed the restrooms and the kitchen 2 times a day for cleaning : at 11AM and 6PM. Was that inconvenient? Yes.
I think the staff is using an old booking system because they seemed confused every time I went to pay for the night. They even lost track and forgot to record one credit card payment. Keep your receipts!!

Although this a a very big motor-camp, it was one of the best campground we had in our whole trip.

Q Box Motorhome Park
3.0/5
Cheapest campground in Queenstown.
Friendly staff. Nice commune areas (inside and outside). Facilities, especially the kitchen, could use more than 1 cleaning per day - it was dirty when we were there.
Q Box could be a truly amazing spot if a little more love was put in.

Solscape Eco Retreat
3.0/5
We "tried" to stay at Solscape but we couldn't put hammocks in the trees (they're protected).
One of the guys drove us to a nearby campground and left us there - but there were no trees at all at that place.
We did not stay at Solscape but we went there everyday for 8 days to rent surfboards and wetsuits.
Surf lesson with Andy was awesome, well worth 85$. The following days we came in to rent gear (10$ discount if you had a lesson - 25$ instead of 35$ for half a day, which is super cheap). Some of the days, renting the gear was easy. Some other days, it became somehow difficult/impossible : lost the keys of the "surf shack", lack of boards, etc.
